i got free s4 engine with no Fi components

whats the cheapest way to get it in my gs

if its more than 400$ ill just sell it and rebiuld the 12a

 

you can probably find a carb setup for around that much, but i think you'll need a new upper intake manifold and fuel pump (and lines?).

 

if all you have is $400 then you might as well sell it.

You'll need at the minimum, new carb and intake manifold, new exhaust, new fuel system, 12a-13b adapter (unless you wanna slot your 12a mounts, but I wouldnt do that), egr block off plate. I think thats it, but thats gonna run you more than 400 bucks man.

 

gonna sell it then

 

Too bad you don't have some of those parts lying around.

 

i have lots of 12a parts tho
so really its not a hard decision
with 400 plus the $$ from the 13b
i think i can do a good job on the 12a

 

I only said that because I have access to everything I'd need to drop an FC engine into a 1st gen.

GSL-SE oil pan, '74-'85 front cover (GSL-SE if you need all four OMP lines), RB front cover mount to fit a 13B into a 12A chassis, 13B cast iron manifold or a header, stock lower intake manifold, Racing Beat upper manifold with a Weber or dellorto carb, or RB's Holley manifold and RB modded Holley carb, oh man, the list goes on.

Well, whatever you do, we'll be here. Are you going to port the 12A?

 

Well why dont u do this then. Tkae ur 12a and sell it. Then use ur 400 plus the oney from the 12a to do the 13b

 

Is the procedure to swap an s5 engine the same as the s4?

 

pretty much

ill be up to help, no biggie

 

my 12a has no compression at the moment, no lost seals, so a rebiuld is in order

 

dp

 

damn right im gonna port


tenative plans are
1. sterling carb + bridge
2.streetport + turbo, rotaryshack nikki

 

I'd go for option number 2 man.

 

im really thinking aobut it
